Quarantined Poems


Quarantined Abandon

Allowance is issued by allegiance 
Descent
De scenting the grain
Defection from account
The man above watches 
As open journal 
His story is carved
And reared 
Nearer grown abundant

Recital of vow and order
un adhered 
Ends actions statements
A fold is created

Company is kept seperate

Close Associate Quarantined - Jesus Saved Me Again

I will not shy away from Jesus' love
Once again, a church worker failed the test
Did not tell me, "I have been quarantined."
This, my prayer partner, with me day
After day, as we give hope to the aged!
This was told to "Prayer Partner" at work 
About a week ago. Friday, a call
To lend money, Thousand in my

On Being Quarantined

On Being Quarantined

By Betty Harp Butler


Lord, you know that I am
Tired of being quarantined.
I don’t like having to stay inside
And all of the problems that brings.

I want to walk, skip, and run.
I want to feel the sunshine,
And the wind on my face,
That is almost like a warm embrace.
But…
When I consider the alternative
I think I will

Quarantined
By Franklin Price
04/08/2020

So you're tired of being quarantined
Are at home and off the street
The restaurants have shut their doors
Take out's all there is to eat

Could try to fix some for yourself
With the help of family
Who knows, it could be edible
You'll just have to try and see

Or as a bear in winter,
Could sleep the COVID through
Then

Feelings While Quarantined

Sudden fear struck by body
And I could barely breath
Move or speak
When I first heard about
The corona virus and
All its destruction
It's even scarier to
Believe that it's in
Your city and your town
What makes it even worse is
That I don't know who it
Has already attached itself to
Could be my family or
My closest friends
Now I'm stuck in isolation
Like a

Self Quarantined Misanthrope Pitched Into Purgatory Wham

Self quarantined misanthrope pitched into purgatory wham!

Ably cane resign eternal damnation (mine)
courtesy devil specially engraved telegram
prestidigitation found me vanishing shazam,
without a trace I disappeared in thin air voila
Earthly travails atop horns of dilemma ram
into me buttucks pitching yours truly ma'am

hoisted by my own petard sheepishly wool
ewe (red dully) bull heave human bug eyed
recalcitrant specimen (me)

This warm spring day a bright display
when souls desire to run and play,
but we must stay six feet away
to save our health from disarray.

I cannot see why this must be;
I pray to Thee, please set us free.

I long to trace lines of her face,
and feel the touch of her embrace
that makes the pace of heartbeats

Premium MemberQuarantined, My Story

'Quality is Job One' is a great marketing tool for the Ford Motor company.

Until a cure is found, quality of life becomes secondary to survival itself.

After survival is achieved, life, as usual, becomes a matter of discussion.

Rationale and certain constitutional rights are also set aside until the cure,

And until then, like an orchestra, the world

Premium MemberQuarantined Spring

There's plenty of empty
Shelves and pantries
The streets weep for missing feet
Crowds of clouds float and gloat
Mocking our lot, as they mingle and flock

Oh, the lords of hoard now run the board
Going by social media shifts
Toilet paper's now the sought-after gift
One can't use scanty panties
To clean your fanny's nooks and crannies

In this sparse farce
The walls grow

Another day like a gerbil on a wheel clip, 
Running 'round the house... 
Stayin' in the same place 

I think I'll go shovel some rain

Quarantined 

Waking up to this strange dream
First sight is the checkered ceiling
Then the antique bathroom mirror
I see old age and worried red eyes
I see another drawn day of breathing

My beard is out of control with grey
I am home now and not going out
I hear helicopters often in the sky
The morning time is escape time
The missus
